Crowder won tickets valued at $70 to the TheatreZone production of "Cole."

Second place went to Rhonda Olcheski, whose subject matter was her daughter Mariah, at the age of three. "I was trying to get a good posed picture of her, while we were putting up the three, but she ended up laying across our ottoman, all relaxed; she wanted to do her own thing,' Olcheski explained of the shot. "It's one of my all-time favorites of her."

Third place went to Pam Robbins, of East Naples, for a photo of her dog Hershey dressed for the holidays.

The next photo contest — "Birds of a Feather" — will run through January 12. Entries should include the photographer's name, contact information, basic information about the subject of the photo and the type of camera used. Photos can be e-mailed to news@colliercitizen.com.
